Caitlin and Leah are fairly content with the slow and steady pace in their small Texas town. Sure, they have the typical challenges of any American high school – evil girl cliques and oppressive ex-boyfriends – but hey, who doesn’t? They see themselves as painfully ordinary, but quickly find out they are spectacularly wrong.

The arrival of two newcomers at school sets them on an explosive path of magic, betrayal, secrets and forbidden love. Caitlin’s discovery of her true identity causes tremendous upheaval in her happily anonymous life and flings open the doors to a world she never dreamed existed – and quite frankly, one she could do without. Her presence generates intense emotional responses from everyone she encounters, including the ancient Ethereals. Caitlin must learn to embrace her birthright and trust in her friends or she risks endangering them all.
